The newest exhibit in MIM’s Artist Gallery reveals the musical origins of one of the world’s most famous and influential superstars: Madonna.
See the electric guitar and portable amplifier Madonna played during her earliest public performances on the sidewalks of Manhattan, the drum set she played in concert at New York City’s famous CBGB club, and the acoustic guitar she used to write and record her very first song, “Tell the Truth.”
“MIM’s exhibit illustrates the true launchpad for Madonna—one of the most successful musical artists in history,” says senior curator Rich Walter.
